The NVMe specification does not define a maximum or optimal delete
size, so technically max delete size is min(full size of namespace,
2^32 - 1 LBAs). A single delete operation for a multi-TB NVMe
namespace though may take much longer to complete than the nvme(4)
I/O timeout period. So choose a sensible default here that is still
suitably large to minimize the number of overall delete operations.
This also fixes possible uint32_t overflow on initial TRIM operation

Summary:
Migrate to using the semi-opaque type rman_res_t to specify rman resources. For
now, this is still compatible with u_long.
This is step one in migrating rman to use uintmax_t for resources instead of
u_long.
Going forward, this could feasibly be used to specify architecture-specific
definitions of resource ranges, rather than baking a specific integer type into
the API.

option to invert the polarity in software. Also add an option to capture
very narrow pulses by using the hardware's MSR delta-bit capability of
latching line state changes.
This effectively reverts the mistake I made in r286595 which was based on
empirical measurements made on hardware using TTL-level signaling, in which
the logic levels are inverted from RS-232. Thus, this re-syncs the polarity
with the requirements of RFC 2783, which is writen in terms of RS-232
signaling.
Narrow-pulse mode uses the ability of most ns8250 and similar chips to
provide a delta indication in the modem status register. The hardware is
able to notice and latch the change when the pulse width is shorter than
interrupt latency, which results in the signal no longer being asserted by
time the interrupt service code runs. When running in this mode we get
notified only that "a pulse happened" so the driver synthesizes both an
ASSERT and a CLEAR event (with the same timestamp for each). When the pulse
width is about equal to the interrupt latency the driver may intermittantly
see both edges of the pulse. To prevent generating spurious events, the
driver implements a half-second lockout period after generating an event
before it will generate another.

Due to FreeBSD system-wide limits on number of MSI-X vectors
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=199321),
it may be desirable to allocate fewer than the maximum number
of vectors for an NVMe device, in order to save vectors for
other devices (usually Ethernet) that can take better
advantage of them and may be probed after NVMe.
This tunable is expressed in terms of minimum number of CPUs
per I/O queue instead of max number of queues per controller,
to allow for a more even distribution of CPUs per queue. This
avoids cases where some number of CPUs have a dedicated queue,
but other CPUs need to share queues. Ideally the PR referenced
above will eventually be fixed and the mechanism implemented
here becomes obsolete anyways.
While here, fix a bug in the CPUs per I/O queue calculation to
properly account for the admin queue's MSI-X vector.

exhausted.
It is possible for a bug in the code (or, theoretically, even unusual
network conditions) to exhaust all possible mbufs or mbuf clusters.
When this occurs, things can grind to a halt fairly quickly. However,
we currently do not call mb_reclaim() unless the entire system is
experiencing a low-memory condition.
While it is best to try to prevent exhaustion of one of the mbuf zones,
it would also be useful to have a mechanism to attempt to recover from
these situations by freeing "expendable" mbufs.
This patch makes two changes:
a) The patch adds a generic API to the UMA zone allocator to set a
function that should be called when an allocation fails because the
zone limit has been reached. Because of the way this function can be
called, it really should do minimal work.
b) The patch uses this API to try to free mbufs when an allocation
fails from one of the mbuf zones because the zone limit has been
reached. The function schedules a callout to run mb_reclaim().

o With new KPI consumers can request contiguous ranges of pages, and
unlike before, all pages will be kept busied on return, like it was
done before with the 'reqpage' only. Now the reqpage goes away. With
new interface it is easier to implement code protected from race
conditions.
Such arrayed requests for now should be preceeded by a call to
vm_pager_haspage() to make sure that request is possible. This
could be improved later, making vm_pager_haspage() obsolete.
Strenghtening the promises on the business of the array of pages
allows us to remove such hacks as swp_pager_free_nrpage() and
vm_pager_free_nonreq().
o New KPI accepts two integer pointers that may optionally point at

camdd(8) utility.
CCBs may be queued to the driver via the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl, and
completed CCBs may be retrieved via the CAMIOGET ioctl. User
processes can use poll(2) or kevent(2) to get notification when
I/O has completed.
While the existing CAMIOCOMMAND blocking ioctl interface only
supports user virtual data pointers in a CCB (generally only
one per CCB), the new CAMIOQUEUE ioctl supports user virtual and
physical address pointers, as well as user virtual and physical
scatter/gather lists. This allows user applications to have more
flexibility in their data handling operations.
Kernel memory for data transferred via the queued interface is
allocated from the zone allocator in MAXPHYS sized chunks, and user
data is copied in and out. This is likely faster than the
vmapbuf()/vunmapbuf() method used by the CAMIOCOMMAND ioctl in
configurations with many processors (there are more TLB shootdowns
caused by the mapping/unmapping operation) but may not be as fast
as running with unmapped I/O.
The new memory handling model for user requests also allows
applications to send CCBs with request sizes that are larger than
MAXPHYS. The pass(4) driver now limits queued requests to the I/O
size listed by the SIM driver in the maxio field in the Path
Inquiry (XPT_PATH_INQ) CCB.
There are some things things would be good to add:
1. Come up with a way to do unmapped I/O on multiple buffers.
Currently the unmapped I/O interface operates on a struct bio,
which includes only one address and length. It would be nice
to be able to send an unmapped scatter/gather list down to
busdma. This would allow eliminating the copy we currently do
for data.
2. Add an ioctl to list currently outstanding CCBs in the various
queues.
3. Add an ioctl to cancel a request, or use the XPT_ABORT CCB to do
that.
4. Test physical address support. Virtual pointers and scatter
gather lists have been tested, but I have not yet tested
physical addresses or scatter/gather lists.
5. Investigate multiple queue support. At the moment there is one
queue of commands per pass(4) device. If multiple processes
open the device, they will submit I/O into the same queue and
get events for the same completions. This is probably the right
model for most applications, but it is something that could be
changed later on.
Also, add a new utility, camdd(8) that uses the asynchronous pass(4)
driver interface.
This utility is intended to be a basic data transfer/copy utility,
a simple benchmark utility, and an example of how to use the
asynchronous pass(4) interface.
It can copy data to and from pass(4) devices using any target queue
depth, starting offset and blocksize for the input and ouptut devices.
It currently only supports SCSI devices, but could be easily extended
to support ATA devices.
It can also copy data to and from regular files, block devices, tape
devices, pipes, stdin, and stdout. It does not support queueing
multiple commands to any of those targets, since it uses the standard
read(2)/write(2)/writev(2)/readv(2) system calls.
The I/O is done by two threads, one for the reader and one for the
writer. The reader thread sends completed read requests to the
writer thread in strictly sequential order, even if they complete
out of order. That could be modified later on for random I/O patterns
or slightly out of order I/O.
camdd(8) uses kqueue(2)/kevent(2) to get I/O completion events from
the pass(4) driver and also to send request notifications internally.
For pass(4) devcies, camdd(8) uses a single buffer (CAM_DATA_VADDR)
per CAM CCB on the reading side, and a scatter/gather list
(CAM_DATA_SG) on the writing side. In addition to testing both
interfaces, this makes any potential reblocking of I/O easier. No
data is copied between the reader and the writer, but rather the
reader's buffers are split into multiple I/O requests or combined
into a single I/O request depending on the input and output blocksize.
For the file I/O path, camdd(8) also uses a single buffer (read(2),
write(2), pread(2) or pwrite(2)) on reads, and a scatter/gather list
(readv(2), writev(2), preadv(2), pwritev(2)) on writes.
Things that would be nice to do for camdd(8) eventually:
1. Add support for I/O pattern generation. Patterns like all
zeros, all ones, LBA-based patterns, random patterns, etc. Right
Now you can always use /dev/zero, /dev/random, etc.
2. Add support for a "sink" mode, so we do only reads with no
writes. Right now, you can use /dev/null.
3. Add support for automatic queue depth probing, so that we can
figure out the right queue depth on the input and output side
for maximum throughput. At the moment it defaults to 6.
4. Add support for SATA device passthrough I/O.
5. Add support for random LBAs and/or lengths on the input and
output sides.
6. Track average per-I/O latency and busy time. The busy time
and latency could also feed in to the automatic queue depth
determination.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.h:
Define two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET, that queue
and fetch asynchronous CAM CCBs respectively.
Although these ioctls do not have a declared argument, they
both take a union ccb pointer. If we declare a size here,
the ioctl code in sys/kern/sys_generic.c will malloc and free
a buffer for either the CCB or the CCB pointer (depending on
how it is declared). Since we have to keep a copy of the
CCB (which is fairly large) anyway, having the ioctl malloc
and free a CCB for each call is wasteful.
sys/cam/scsi/scsi_pass.c:
Add asynchronous CCB support.
Add two new ioctls, CAMIOQUEUE and CAMIOGET.
CAMIOQUEUE adds a CCB to the incoming queue. The CCB is
executed immediately (and moved to the active queue) if it
is an immediate CCB, but otherwise it will be executed
in passstart() when a CCB is available from the transport layer.
When CCBs are completed (because they are immediate or
passdone() if they are queued), they are put on the done
queue.
If we get the final close on the device before all pending
I/O is complete, all active I/O is moved to the abandoned
queue and we increment the peripheral reference count so
that the peripheral driver instance doesn't go away before
all pending I/O is done.
The new passcreatezone() function is called on the first
call to the CAMIOQUEUE ioctl on a given device to allocate
the UMA zones for I/O requests and S/G list buffers. This
may be good to move off to a taskqueue at some point.
The new passmemsetup() function allocates memory and
scatter/gather lists to hold the user's data, and copies
in any data that needs to be written. For virtual pointers
(CAM_DATA_VADDR), the kernel buffer is malloced from the
new pass(4) driver malloc bucket. For virtual
scatter/gather lists (CAM_DATA_SG), buffers are allocated
from a new per-pass(9) UMA zone in MAXPHYS-sized chunks.
Physical pointers are passed in unchanged. We have support
for up to 16 scatter/gather segments (for the user and
kernel S/G lists) in the default struct pass_io_req, so
requests with longer S/G lists require an extra kernel malloc.
The new passcopysglist() function copies a user scatter/gather
list to a kernel scatter/gather list. The number of elements
in each list may be different, but (obviously) the amount of data
stored has to be identical.
The new passmemdone() function copies data out for the
CAM_DATA_VADDR and CAM_DATA_SG cases.
The new passiocleanup() function restores data pointers in
user CCBs and frees memory.
Add new functions to support kqueue(2)/kevent(2):
passreadfilt() tells kevent whether or not the done
queue is empty.
passkqfilter() adds a knote to our list.

Each virtual interface has its own MAC address, queues, and statistics.
The dedicated netmap interfaces (ncxgbeX / ncxlX) were already implemented
as additional VIs on each port. This change allows additional non-netmap
interfaces to be configured on each port. Additional virtual interfaces
use the naming scheme vcxgbeX or vcxlX.
Additional VIs are enabled by setting the hw.cxgbe.num_vis tunable to a
value greater than 1 before loading the cxgbe(4) or cxl(4) driver.
NB: The first VI on each port is the "main" interface (cxgbeX or cxlX).
T4/T5 NICs provide a limited number of MAC addresses for each physical port.
As a result, a maximum of six VIs can be configured on each port (including
the "main" interface and the netmap interface when netmap is enabled).
One user-visible result is that when netmap is enabled, packets received
or transmitted via the netmap interface are no longer counted in the stats
for the "main" interface, but are not accounted to the netmap interface.
The netmap interfaces now also have a new-bus device and export various
information sysctl nodes via dev.n(cxgbe|cxl).X.
The cxgbetool 'clearstats' command clears the stats for all VIs on the
specified port along with the port's stats. There is currently no way to
clear the stats of an individual VI.

Certain invalid operations trigger hardware error conditions. Error
conditions that only halt one channel can be detected and recovered by
resetting the channel. Error conditions that halt the whole device are
generally not recoverable.
Add a sysctl to inject channel-fatal HW errors,

When a halt due to a channel error is detected, ioat(4) blocks new
operations from being queued on the channel, completes any outstanding

new operations to be queued again.

Now it can be used to effectively "build in a subdir". It will use the
'cross-tools', 'libraries', and 'includes' phases of 'buildworld' to properly
setup a WORLDTMP to use. Then it will build 'everything' only in the
listed SUBDIR_OVERRIDE directories. It is still required to list custom
library directories in LOCAL_LIB_DIRS if SUBDIR_OVERRIDE is something
that contains libraries outside of the normal area (such as
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=contrib/ofed needing LOCAL_LIB_DIRS=contrib/ofed/usr.lib)
Without these changes, SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with buildworld was broken or hit
obscure failures due to missing libraries, includes, or cross compiler.
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with 'make <target that is not buildworld>' will continue to
work as it did before although its usefulness is questionable.
With a fully populated WORLDTMP, building with a SUBDIR_OVERRIDE with
-DNO_CLEAN only takes a few minutes to start building the target
directories. This is still much better than building unneeded things via
'everything' when testing small subset changes. A BUILDFAST or
SKIPWORLDTMP might make sense for this as well.
- Add in '_worldtmp' as we still need to create WORLDTMP as later targets,
such as '_libraries' and '_includes' use it. This probably was avoiding
calling '_worldtmp' to not remove WORLDTMP for debugging purposes, but
-DNO_CLEAN can be used for that.
- '_legacy' must be included since '_build-tools' uses -legacy.
The SUBDIR_OVERRIDE change came in r95509, while -legacy being part
of build-tools came in r113136.
- 'bootstrap-tools' is still skipped as this feature is not for
upgrades.
- Fix buildworld combined with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE not installing all includes.
The original change for SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in r95509 kept '_includes'
and '_libraries' as building everything possible as the SUBDIR_OVERRIDE
could need anything from them. However in r96462 the real 'includes'
target was changed from manual sub-makes to just recursing 'includes'
on SUBDIR, thus not all includes have been installed into WORLDTMP since then
when combined with 'buildworld'.
This is not done unless calling 'make buildworld' as it would be
unexpected to have it go into all directories when doing 'make
SUBDIR_OVERRIDE=mydir includes'.
- Also need to build the cross-compiler so it is used with --sysroot.
If this is burdensome then telling the build to use the local compiler
as an external compiler (thus using a proper --sysroot to WORLDTMP) is
possible by setting CC=/usr/bin/cc, CXX=/usr/bin/c++, etc.
- Don't build the lib32 distribution with SUBDIR_OVERRIDE in buildworld
since it won't contain anything related to SUBDIR_OVERRIDE. Testing
of the lib32 build can be done with 'make build32'.
- Document these changes in build.7

NT_PROCSTAT_VMMAP output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to

Coredump notes depend on being able to invoke dump routines twice; once
in a dry-run mode to get the size of the note, and another to actually
emit the note to the corefile.
When a note helper emits a different length section the second time
around than the length it requested the first time, the kernel produces
a corrupt coredump.
NT_PROCSTAT_FILES output length, when packing kinfo structs, is tied to
the length of filenames corresponding to vnodes in the process' fd table
via vn_fullpath. As vnodes may move around during dump, this is racy.
So:
- Detect badly behaved notes in putnote() and pad underfilled notes.
- Add a fail point, debug.fail_point.fill_kinfo_vnode__random_path to
exercise the NT_PROCSTAT_FILES corruption. It simply picks random
lengths to expand or truncate paths to in fo_fill_kinfo_vnode().
- Add a sysctl, kern.coredump_pack_fileinfo, to allow users to
disable kinfo packing for PROCSTAT_FILES notes. This should avoid
both FILES note corruption and truncation, even if filenames change,
at the cost of about 1 kiB in padding bloat per open fd. Document
the new sysctl in core.5.
- Fix note_procstat_files to self-limit in the 2nd pass. Since
sometimes this will result in a short write, pad up to our advertised
size. This addresses note corruption, at the risk of sometimes
truncating the last several fd info entries.
- Fix NT_PROCSTAT_FILES consumers libutil and libprocstat to grok the
zero padding.

Also, explicitly say that a thread doesn't see its own accesses being

* The VM doesn't handle unbalanced domains very well, and if you have an overly
